Dear SuSEians,
I've been toying with my digital camera (Toshiba PDR-M61) for some time trying to mount it as a device via its USB connection. Linux Format issues 19, 20, & 22 all had info on mounting USB digital cameras as a storage device, but I'm still having problems.
I've got a toshiba pdr-m25 that I got running using the following method: The hardest part was finding out which device to use. I plugged the camera in, turned it on, waited a couple of seconds while it was recognized and; opened a shell became root fsck -l (the letter L) my camera was shown as /dev/sdc1 created a directory /media/camera added line to /etc/fstab /dev/sdc1 /media/camera vfat noauto,user 0 0 added line to /etc/init.d/boot.local /sbin/modprobe usb-storage (running the above line as root saves doing a reboot, putting it in boot.local runs it each time you boot up. created a disk link on my kde desktop mount point /media/camera device /dev/sdc1 file system vfat and set permissions as I wanted that was all, There was a thread last month if you need more info but this should do it for you. Good luck dh
